Wave Climatology
In a valuable paper published in July 1960 ( Journal , 13, 253) Hanssen and James described the system developed by the U.S. Hydrographic Office (now U.S. Navy Oceanographic Office) for selecting the optimum track for transoceanic crossings by applying long-range predictions of wind, waves and curre...
